Johnson Controls and the U.S. Energy Association welcomed energy-sector thought leaders, including the White House Council on Environmental Quality, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the U.S. Army, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), to the 2015 Energy Efficiency Forum in Washington, D.C., June 11.

“Energy efficiency represents a powerful opportunity to improve the economy, lower carbon emissions, create jobs, and ensure our country’s energy resiliency,” Bill Jackson, president, Johnson Controls Building Efficiency, said. “We’ve gathered a powerful group of leaders from the public and private sectors who must work together to accelerate the progress being made and the success possible from greater energy efficiency.”

Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) championed unprecedented bipartisan efforts in both chambers to move energy-efficiency legislation, including bills that would leverage energy-saving performance-contracting models to make the federal government more energy-efficient.

Katherine Hammack, assistant secretary of Army installations, energy, and environment, showcased the Army’s mission toward greater energy resiliency and net zero, including a new combined-heat-and-power plant at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. The plant will save the Army nearly $113 million over 19 years and provide reliable energy service to mission-critical facilities.
